I have not tried any of those listed but I have made a number of the Winery Series with excellent results.

All choices are good, but
E.P. Shiraz will be bigger. The meritage, because it is a blend, will tend to be smoother I would guess, although I do really like a meritage.

Overall, the EP will be a little higher quality of wine. It will need cold stabilized to drop some of its acid, but that is typical for a red EP.
That's my vote!

knowing the players

nice selection to choose from,Australian shaza is usually fruit forward,nice notes all the way around,meritage is a blended wine and depending on the blend can go either way,on the other hand Chilean melbec can be quite bold and deep with spice notes and wood ,that would be my choice,you can always adjust it to your taste ,,,

Choice

I'd choose the Malbec, but feel any of the choices would be worth giving a shot.

Best of luck,
